Polly beak again after second rhinoplasty. Why is the happening? (Photo)

M
MCH1339Aug 5, 2019

I had my first rhinoplasty in 2008 which resulted in a pollybeak deformity. In September 2018, I had a revision. The surgeon removed the scar tissue and a small amount of cartilage. We were off to a great start until June 2019. Now it appears to be reforming again! Please help! I receive Kenalog injections, the swelling goes down and in 8 weeks it's back again. Why is this happening again?!!

Hi @Carrie_79! A dorsal augmentation will raise your bridge. I recommend seeing an expert revision rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are several options for you that can be determined after examination. Best of luck, Dr. Nima.

Unfortunately you are seeing the sharp outline of your tip cartilage and as swelling resolves it will not improve and may be more obvious.  A revision to reduce tip projection slightly and soften the tip should improve it a great deal but you need to wait until 1 year after your rhinoplasty for ...

Thanks for the question and photos. As you alluded to in your question, it’s still pretty early in the healing process. I would recommend leaving the nose alone for now and following up as scheduled with your surgeon. Give it another 6-10 months to get a better sense of where the nose is going t...

Overall the shape of your nose is fine other than the hanging columella, but would benefit from tip refinement.   Swelling after revision takes at least as long to resolve as a primary rhinoplasty.  You have relatively thick skin which is contributing to the lack of definition of the tip, and sw...
